Cribbs F.C.

Cribbs Football Club is an English football club founded in 1958 and based at Cribbs Causeway, Bristol, England. They are currently members of and are affiliated to the Gloucestershire County FA.HistoryCribbs Football Club was founded in London in 1958 as Sun Life Assurance. The Bristol team was established in 1976 when Sun Life first relocated to Bristol. Initially, two teams were run, participating in the Bristol and Avon League, playing at Dundridge Farm. However, when the Cribbs Causeway ground was opened in 1978, the first team were promoted straight to the Avon Premier Combination League (later renamed Bristol Premier Combination) where they stayed for 20 years until they eventually won promotion to the County League in 1999–2000. In the summer of 2011, the club changed from AXA to its new name of Cribbs Friends Life FC ready for the 2011–12 season.The 2011–12 season was Cribbs' most successful season to date as the club claimed its first Gloucestershire County League title on its way to an unprecedented League and Cup double, with the team later adding the Les James League Cup to the League Championship, in the process becoming the first and only side to achieve this feat. As well as winning the double, the club finally earned promotion to the Western League Division One for the 2012–13 season as a result of being crowned champions. The season turned out to be a successful one for the club in general as the Reserve and 'A' sides also gained promotion.
